Maka POV:

"Soul, breakfast is ready!" I threw some bacon and eggs on a plate and set them on the table. Soul came out of his room still rubbing the sleep from his eyes. We had the week off since every one needed recovery after the battle with the Kishin. Every one who participated on the battle was instructed to stay home and rest up, so it meant me and Soul had been stuck together for almost a week now, but it wasn't too bad.

"Looks tasty." Soul sat down , still tired and only half awake.

"Thanks, I know how you like bacon." I smiled and say down across the table from Soul, who was munching on his bacon with joy,

"I should be the one cooking for you, we wouldn't had been able to win that battle of you hadn't been so brave." His face was slightly pink, but when he looked down I figured it meant he didn't want to talk about it. This whole week he had been complimenting me, telling me how I did a good job and that I was finally strong like I wanted to be. He seemed, different,but in a good way. Like he was more open.

"There's always dinner you know," I suggested, shoving a fork full of egg into my mouth. He smiled and nodded. He took his empty plate to the sink to wash it off and I followed. While I was washing off the dishes he came up behind me and tickled my sides, sending me into a squealing fit. I turned around to Maka-Chop him he gave me a look a couldn't explain. It filled me with butterflies, and made my heart beat faster.

Soul POV:

When we locked eyes I felt something change inside of her. I had been being extra laid back since the battle, I wasn't worried about loosing her anymore. The biggest threat we had, we destroyed. I knew I had feelings for her before the battle, way before actually, but I never said anything. It could have messed up our wave lengths or concluded with the worst Maka-Chop to date.

"Soul?" She poked me, snapping me out of my trance.

"Sorry, lost my train of thought for a moment." I turned around to head to my room before it got more awkward than it was, but I couldn't escape fast enough.

"Hey , Soul wait up!" She ran in front of me stopping me in my tracks, "we haven't done anything fun all week, let's invite every one over. We can have a huge sleep over."

"You know we're supposed to remain at our 'designated houses' if we get caught we might get detention, not cool." I tried to hide the little bit of relief in my voice but it was obviously no good because her face lit up as she ran for the phone.

"I didn't hear a no!", she screamed , already dialing a number and pressing the phone to her ear. She smirked, "it'll be fun! It'll be like an undercover thing!"

I smirked and headed into my room. Since we had the week off I had gotten lazy about keeping my room clean. Most of the mess was just dirty clothes on the floor and am unmade bed. I picked my piled of used clothes up and walked them down the hall to my bin, then I made my way back to my room to make my bed and pick up the few things that were out of place. I could hear Maka squealing her heart out on the phone, most likely talking to Tsubaki.

There was a slight knock on my door, and Maka entered. Her face was filled with happiness and she couldn't stop smiling. I knew she missed our friends, but I didn't realize how much.

"Once it's dark out everyone will come over. For now let's head out to get some food and stuff for tonight." She looked around my room, obviously happy it was clean again before she headed down the hall to her own room to get ready to go shopping. While we we're suppose to stay put it was aloud that we go get food, for obvious reasons.

I got dressed in my usual grey jeans but realized I had no more clean shirts. Easy fix, I just threw on an old muscle shirt and my jacket over it. I didn't like wearing muscle shirts since the accident because the scar was visible and it would cause Maka to cry. Luckily the jacket would cover where the shirt wouldn't though, so it would be okay.

Maka POV:

"Soul, you ready!?", I screamed, fixing the pigtail in my hair.

"Yeah let's go." He grabbed the keys from the hook near the door and we made our way down to the motorcycle.

It felt good to be outside. I enjoyed the motorcycle ride more than ever simply because it had been so long. It felt almost freeing. I always enjoyed it anyways, since it gave me reason to hold onto Soul without being weird.

We got to the store and started walking the isles. Soul was throwing junk food in the cart left and right, from pop corn to candy corn. Junk food had to be his specialty.

We turned down the dairy isle and as we walked I felt a breeze under my skirt and pressure on my butt. Before I could process what just happened, I turned to see Soul pinning some old guy (about mid 30's) to the floor, holding his scythe to his neck.

"Touch her again you sick bastard. I fucking dare you!", Soul inched his scythe closer to his neck before I could pull him off. It took everything I had, but I got Soul up and the second I did the guy took off.

"What was that? You can't just go killing people, even if they are perverts." I tried to make eye contact but he refused.

"Other guys touching you like that isn't cool," he hissed, still pissed off to no end, "Stupid perv, if he touchs you again he won't be so lucky. Anyways, we need butter too we're almost out."

"Alright. Thank you, Soul, for being so protective. But remember, no getting yourself into stupid fights, okay?" I leaned over and gave him a little kiss on the cheek. His face flushed bright red and he quickly turned away.

"I'll go get the butter and meet you back here." His voice slightly cracked and he headed down the isle.

Meanwhile, I looked around for the milk we always got, the one with the purple label. Soul was picky about his milk for some reason, I bought a cheaper one once and he refused to drink it, even went and bought a second gallon just for himself. I found the milk and put it into the cart, then I walked down to the ice cream and got a big gallon of it for tonight. Soul came back a threw the butter into the cart.

"Anything else?" He looked in the cart throwing his head back, "Dear Death, everyone is going to have Diabetes by the end of tonight."

I laughed when I looked in the cart and realized we had everything from gummy bears to a big container of licorice to .

"Let's get some real food while were here too. We need bread and some meat for sandwiches." I started walking to the deli when Soul grabbed the back of my shirt, almost chocking me in the process.

"Look who's here." I could hear his voice crackle as he tried not to laugh. I leaned over to look down the isle. Papa.

"Let's get our stuff and get out of here before it's too late." I rushed over to the deli picking up some containers of ham and roast beef, while I sent Soul to go grab bread and condiments.

Soul didn't like my Papa either, said he 'wasn't cool' and had a good right to call him a perv. I agree. But anytime he sees Soul and I together he scowls at Soul like he's some murderous beast. He's threatened Soul on a few different occasions which didn't help any.

I grabbed the cart and used my soul perception to find Soul, and avoid my Papa. When me and Soul met up we checked out as quickly as possible, threw the groceries into the little packs on the side of his bike, and took off.

We got back to the apartment around 4 o'clock, only two more hours until sunset. I put away the groceries and headed to the bathroom for a shower.

I stepped out of the shower and reached for my towel.

"Shit!" I had forgot my towel in my room, leaving me with nothing to cover up with. I peaked my head out the bathroom door and down the hall. Soul wasn't in sight, meaning he was probably in his room. I waited a few moments before I made the daring naked dash to my room. I got to my door and just as I opened it, Soul opened his. I threw myself into my room and behind my door. My towel was on my desk, I grabbed it , wrapped myself up and peaked my head out. Soul was sitting in the living room, good, he didn't see anything.

Soul POV:

Shit. I shoved my fingers into my nose and turned on the TV. I waited for Maka to check and once she did, I got up and got a napkin. I hated this nose bleed ordeal. That's two in one day. It's like she's doing it on purpose.

I know well enough to know she's not, but how am I supposed to deal with her? She kissed me on the cheek and I got a nosebleed. Not cool at all. And now she's running around the apartment naked. I'm not complaining, but if she knew I saw anything I'd probably be knocked unconscious by her.

I got up and headed into my room, every one was going to start showing up soon, so I figured I could just get into my pajamas now. Tonight was going to be a long night.
